So I started this blog like 6 years ago after our youngest son Kyler went to be with Jesus. I have recently been feeling pulled back to it more and more and now here I am. I'm not a great speaker or writer, I'm not elegant with all my words. But, God has given me a voice!! He has given me life! He has given me a story!! We all have one. It's the tool God gave us to use for Him once He owns our hearts❤️
My story is one of life and joy but also one of complete and utter devastation. One of overcoming, rebuilding, but most importantly, redemption.
God has given me a huge heart for missions, hence Missions for Jesus :)) I am a nurse and God has allowed me to use my skills for His glory by becoming involved in medical missions. I have been blessed twice in Africa and now have the opportunity to go to Isreal and Jordan next month. We will be setting up a clinic and treating Syrian refugees. Meeting those physical needs and opening the door to their heartstrings speak LIFE!!
This past Sunday the message was about the body-PEOPLE. I tend to be slightly shy and revert inward (God is working on that) so plugging in or asking for help isn't always easy for me. But there was one thing that really hit home with me and so it made its way to the margins of my bible
Some things God wants to do in YOU requires OTHER people!!
The reason I'm here: I need help. Last month I submitted to the call once again to GO. They were in need of another nurse and this trip had been on my heart since January. God swung doors wide open and I thought I had my trip paid for. But sometimes God changes direction and that's ok. I have been earnestly praying and stressing over how this is going to be able to work. How I'm going to pay for this trip. I had budgeted all this year and made reservations for an anniversary trip to Jamaica in Feb so my savings had all went to that before I even knew I would be going to serve. I have been working 50hr weeks and will continue to do so till I leave but on Sunday God spoke to me, telling me I can not do this alone. Things didn't work out with funding like I had planned because He wants the BODY. Things arnt always meant to be easy and were not meant to bear them on our own. Something a precious friend of mine had once told me when I was preparing for a previous trip is that God calls us all in different ways. Not everyone is called to literally go around the world. Some are called to pray and some are called to give and send. She said that if I tried to do it on my own I would be denying her the opportunity to submit in a way God was calling her as a sender. The cost of the trip is $3800. I still need a lot of help with this but I have faith God will provide. He always does!!
It's such a humbling thing (slightly imbarassing) to have to reach out for help but I think that's what he intended the body for, to be used to support one another. So here I am...asking for prayer as this trip is getting really close and support financially. Nothing is to small and God knows our hearts so thank you in advance.
